Report Incidents

Everyone should be on the lookout, take notice of your surroundings, and report suspicious items or activities to local authorities immediately.

"If You See Something, Say Something®"
If you see suspicious activity, please report it to your local police department. If you are experiencing an emergency, please call 9-1-1.

If a significant security incident is detected while in progress, the facility should immediately call local law enforcement and emergency responders via 9-1-1. Similarly, if the event has concluded but an immediate response is still necessary, the facility should immediately call 9-1-1.

Once the incident has concluded and the facility has addressed any resulting emergency, the facility should use a nonemergency number to contact local first responders and other federal, state, and local law enforcement entities, as applicable.

Reporting an Incident to CISA

Once an incident has concluded and any emergency has been addressed, report significant cyber and physical incidents to the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) Central at central@cisa.gov.

CISA Central provides a critical infrastructure 24/7 watch and warning function, and gives all critical infrastructure owners and operators a means to connect with and receive information from all CISA services.
